On the 19th July we left Iceland and headed for Toronto, Canada. The Iceland airport had poor organisation but we eventually took off for our 6 hour journey.
With on board entertainment and regular free drinks the flight seemed to go quite fast. We arrived at 5.30pm UK time, 12.30pm Canada time.

Due to having a working holiday visa we had to join a line before we could collect our bags. An hour and a half later we could collect our bags which had been dumped on the floor since they were the last bags of the flight.
We then discovered we needed change for the bus. Having not eaten for 12 hours (and that was a apple and a slice of bread) we decided to break into a note and share a sandwich.
We eventually got on the public bus on the way to our air bnb accommodation. The temperature was 27 degrees so we felt pretty warm dressed in thermals and coats!
We were staying in someone's converted basement which had a full kitchen, dining room, bathroom and bedroom. First we went to the supermarket which was a refreshing change to be able to afford food again!
After a great nights sleep from a combination of it being dark (after 24 hours of light in Iceland) and jet lag we decided to spend the next day exploring. We instantly looked like tourists from the amazement of seeing a skunk and a black squirrel in the park!
Unlike the day we arrived, the day that was dedicated to sight seeing was pouring down with rain which was unfortunate. We still enjoyed walking around the city and getting a feel for the area and people.

The few Canadians that we have spoken to have highly recommended a coffee shop called Tim holtons. As we were far from the apartment and in the rain we decided to get lunch and a hot drink – for a fair price we were impressed! 
Our first Canadian Coffee!
Eventually the rain stopped so we continued exploring. We went to st Lawrence's market which is a 'must see' followed by a walk to Ontario lake where we could see the city sky line and tallest tower in the world, CN.

By early evening the sun had come out! So we spent a few more hours looking around. After walking 13 miles we decided to go back to the apartment and rest – we had a fabulous day!
On the 22nd July we headed for London. However our train wasn't until 5.30pm and we had to check out of our air bnb at 11am. We ended up taking our bags with us to a coffee shop and sipping a coffee slowly!
By 3pm we were at the train station with our tickets to hand. The train station was a lot busier than expected! We boarded the train at 5.15PM, the seats had enough leg room for us both to lie down! We were going to be nice and comfortable for the 3 hours.

We were impressed with our leg room!
We arrived at our next air bnb place at 9pm with a very friendly retired lady called Emmaline. She even gave us some spaghetti since we hadn't eaten.
After a good nights sleep we went exploring through London city. It was a warm sunny day too which was a bonus.
We spent a few days finding our feet, opening a bank account, getting a social insurance number and looking for work.
We managed to both get a job in a call centre where we answer the phone to Americans who have broken down in their cars and need picking up. We continued to look for work in the hope something better would come up.
On the 30th July we went to watch the Pride festival in the street, it was a lovely day and many of the locals had appeared to sit on the grass and watch. 
As expected there was a selection of people there including drag queens, gay choirs and much more! Somehow we obtained loads of free gifts including flags, beach balls, beads, sweets and fly swatters.
The following day we had our first day at Bill Gosling Call centre. Let the work begin!
